Customer Reviews
I started the Alpaca Hug sweater as a fairly new knitter, having done only two sweaters before, both pieced raglan. I got frustrated and gave up for a year or two, thinking perhaps I didn’t know enough how to do the pattern. Meanwhile, I learned top down and stranded colorwork. Then I came back to this. Well, it turns out it wasn’t me. And that makes me feel a bit annoyed. First, there’s the basic errors like: if you cast on the 42 stitches called for on the sleeve ribbing and do 2 knit/2 purl, you will start and end both on a knit. Which will give you four rows of knit at the seam, and look awkward. Then there’s the pattern saying to “increase on rows 2, 6, 10 (etc), which were purl rows. A bit odd, but fine. But increase by what method? It matters! Then there’s the problem pointed out by others that there isn’t enough yarn. The website says that the pattern is a bit harder than beginner, but can be done by a beginner if you follow it closely. I now realize that it’s poorly written and really should not be attempted unless you have enough skills to spot these types of problems and compensate. It’s beautiful yarn. With the skills I have now, it’s going to be a beautiful sweater. But you need someone to work on the pattern, particularly if you’re going to market it to beginners.
Love this yarn. The pattern is fairly easy to follow and I’m looking forward to finishing it. The kit comes with 5 skeins but I’ve run out of yarn a few rows short of the second sleeve. I just ordered another skein today & I hope the colors match.
Just finished my orange alpaca hug sweater and absolutely love it! The yarn is soft and smooth, easy to work with and gorgeous!(already bought a new color to play with later!). The pattern had a couple glitches, but they replied to my email promptly and really it was nothing hard to figure out. Love this product!!
Easy to follow instructions
Love my sweater! I ordered two more kits.
I haven’t started the kit yet. However the yarn is so soft. Pattern is quite intense so I will be taking my time. This will be a long term project. Excited and feeling challenged.
Super soft beautiful yarn and so far the pattern is easy to follow. Plus the customer service was outstanding.
Very soft yarn, love the color. Might knit this provided pattern or a less oversize sweater with a scarf or cowl to match!
